The phrase spread as a short reaction clip on social video and soundboards, where a single judgemental line could be reused far beyond its first context. Creators lifted the audio to comment on any kind of overbuying, not just soda, which helped it survive as a general meme for excess. Its appeal is the specificity of Dr Pepper combined with a universal observation, so viewers understand the joke without needing backstory. That portability keeps it in rotation for haul, restock and shopping videos.
